Having founded, invested in, and sold multiple companies, Tony Scelzo, has completed the savage to sage journey, and he’s back at it again as the Chief Vision Officer of Ceemless. Tony helped me create and produce the idea behind Savage to Sage, and I’m honored to have him on the pilot episode of the podcast.
Tony believes that as his businesses have grown, it has been equally important for him to grow as well. As a self-described personal development junkie, he has spent a lot of time investing in the mindset aspect of being a leader and a founder.
“Businesses don’t grow unless people do.” -Tony Scelzo
We talk about the fact that no company is built with one person alone, how important it is to approach culture and team-building with intention. And he also shares some of the tools he has used along the way to do both successfully.
“Honest conflict drives clarity of purpose.” -Tony Scelzo
In his current role at Ceemless, he helps entrepreneurs and start-ups with their growth, innovation, and business problems, and he has a lot of insight to share with others that are on that path. To learn more about Ceemless and to connect with Tony, email him at tselzo@ceemless.com
